I don't believe Georgetown has a Finance PhD, so that's not an option. Not to be a dream-buster, but there's no way, with your current scores, you're getting into Carnegie Mellon or UNC. You can apply, but you'd be a longshot at Boston College or Boston University, Penn State, and UC-Irvine. That leaves...

Iowa
UC - Boulder
UConn
UMass
Florida State

I think if you can pull up your verbal score to a reasonable number (600+), you would definitely stand a chance at these schools. It will really all depend on how hard these schools have been hit by funding cuts with the economy and sheer chance of what sort of student they're looking for. If I were you, I'd really start doing some in-depth research on these schools to see if you have any interests in common with the researchers already there.
